so I just need to know how to set the cam on my 240 Z at top dead center. Long story short, I put a new cam in and forgot where the last one was set on the timing gear, so I just set the motor at TDC and figured I do it from there. Thanks

place the cam in the head then rotate it until no lobes are touching the valves in #1, and with rotation the exhaust valve will hit #1 next. (the piston in #1 is Top Dead Center) To make the smaller adjustments, the cam gear should have a marker dot to go in line with the mark on the chain and the mark on the crank.
